She's already divided viewers with her behaviour in the villa, with fans accusing her of being 'obsessed' with co-star Shakira Khan.
Now angry viewers are demanding that Helena is sent packing over the historic social media post, which takes aim at foreigners.
Other bizarre posts apparently shared by Helena refer to her mum as a 'sl*g' and a 'dog'.
After finding the comments, one fan said: 'Get her out.'
Another raged: 'Oh you're going home.'
Several others tagged the official Love Island account, as well as broadcasting regulator Ofcom.
A source close to Helena said: "These tweets are not reflective of the language Helena would use as a 30 year old woman and she would acknowledge she has done a lot of growing up since what she very naively posted over eight years ago.'
This week fans also begged producers to step in after watching Helena pursue Harry, 30 - despite Shakira, 22, having made a play for him first.
One said: 'I said it from the start, Helena's obsession is not with Harry or Harrison it's with Shakira.
'Even the wearing of Shakira's bikini not once. I actually think @loveisland need to do something now. It's so uncomfortable to watch.'
And someone else added: 'At this point it's blatantly obvious Helena only goes for for the men that are interested in Shakira.'

Anais Gallagher pays sweet tribute to rocker dad Noel and reveals her seven-year-old voice features in the set as she attends first sold out reunion gig at Heaton Park
Anais Gallagher was gushing with pride for her rocker dad as she attended the first sold out show of Oasis' five-night stint at Heaton Park on Friday. The daughter of Noel took to Instagram to share a video of her father's guitar solo as she penned: 'My dad's the coolest'. She later also revealed her childhood voice also features in the set as she recorded the end of the band's hit Rock 'n' Roll Star. As the track came to an end and the band walked off the stage ahead of the encore, a younger Anais could be heard saying 'That's rock and roll baby'. And confirming it to be her she told followers: '"That's rock n roll baby" That's my little seven year old voice'. On Friday both Noel and Liam's children reunited for the 'pic of the century' ahead of their fathers' first Manchester show, as they proved they are closer than ever. Wrapping their arms around each other back stage at Heaton Park, Liam's youngest child, Gene, 24, shared a photo to Instagram as he was joined by his brother Lennon, 25, and Anais, as well as Noel's sons Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 14. Also in the picture was Pep Guardiola, Spanish professional football manager, who has been the manager of Noel's beloved Manchester City football club since 2016. The Spaniard wore a retro Manchester City shirt as he prepares to try and win back the top flight title they lost to Liverpool last season. Gene captioned the photo: 'Pic of the century, alright? now everyone els (sic) f**k off.' Notably missing from the picture was Liam's daughter, Molly, 27. Liam shares Gene with Nicole Appleton and later welcomed Lennon with Patsy Kensit. Noel shares Anais with Meg Mathews, and her brothers Sonny, 15, and Donovan, 18, with Sara MacDonald. Liam is currently engaged to Debbie Gwyther and have been together since 2013, meanwhile Noel is dating Sally Mash. And Liam and Noel appeared hand-in-hand as they kicked off the first of their five-night stint at Heaton Park on Friday. Oasis performed in front of a sold-out 80,000 strong crowd in their home city of Manchester after beginning their world tour in Cardiff last week. The shows at Heaton Park - a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester - are the only UK shows held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield. Oasis opened their set with Hello from their 1995 second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, before playing Acquiesce. Fans were treated to Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Cigarettes and Alcohol, and Supersonic before Noel's acoustic set. Giving his brother a hug, Liam then headed off while Noel played Half The World Away and Little By Little. Other songs included D'You Know What I Mean, Cast No Shadow, Stand By Me, Whatever and Rock N Roll Star. After Rock N Roll Star, Liam said: 'Thanks for sticking with us. I know we are difficult, but you want to try being in the band,' before they left the stage.' As chants of 'one more song!' echoed through the crowd they strolled back on to stage to play fan favourites Don't Look Back In Anger and Wonderwall. Oasis ended the night on Champagne Supernova with fireworks being set off from the stage.

A STAR from I'm A Celebrity was rushed to hospital with a nasty injury after a huge accident on a boat. He called the incident a "nightmare" as his hand was completely bandaged up. 4 4 Jake Quickenden, 36, took part in a tense boat race, however he soon ran intro trouble and was forced to withdraw. On his Instagram story he shared a selfie with his teammate and wrote: "So gutted..." "Started well, got intro trouble, set back off got into more toruble!! Sometimes you have to remember you have kids and it's best to not push when luck isn't on your side." He added: "Just at hospital getting an xray and me and Matt both fine." In a second story the former X Factor singer posed as his arm was placed in a sling and a plaster cast. Jake admitted: "Will update with the nightmare we had.. but we are both safe and literally all that matters. "It was going great until it wasn't." The team also took to social media with a behind-the-scenes video at the hospital. It's captioned the video: "Team 3, Untapped, UPDATE - Great team and the river awaits." It showed Jake and his teammate Matt as they sat patiently in the hospital waiting room.
